12/20: Three New Donut Paintings

Need that perfect gift for a cop? That's right, give the gift of donuts; the kind that stick around for awhile. These three "Tea Paintings" are Rebecca's latest. They're all 10" by 10", oil on panel, framed in black metal 'floater' frames, and sell for $400 each.

Her tea series started about three years ago when we spent the winter remodeling a house. Somehow, doing construction work makes us feel that eating donuts is one of the perks of the job. She started saving the best-looking donuts for her paintings. Now when we buy donuts, they're mostly just for painting subjects (IRS take note- that's why we deduct them).

We were at a pot-luck the other night and came home with a couple of cupcakes, so it looks like the next tea painting will feature chocolate cupcakes. Fortunately, I ate one at the dinner; by the time Rebecca is finished with the painting, her subjects are a feast for the eyes only.
